Despite doing macro photography on moths I catch in the garden, along with any other wildlife I'm able to photograph when out and about, not once have I ventured into the realm of focus stacking. That changes starting now. On Thursday I gave it a go, and quite frankly, I love it!

I have a lot to learn and I'm looking forward to the journey of improving bit by bit. So for my first post including a focus stack, here is an Elephant Hawk Moth that graced me with its presence while mothing the other night. For a first attempt, I am quite pleased with how it turned out. Let me know what you think, and do let me know if you have any advice or tips.

Canon EOS R7
Canon RF 100mm

It’s that time of year again; spring is just around the corner and we are already witnessing the sights and sounds of its arrival. Whether it’s snowdrops flowering or migrant birds returning for the breeding season, everyone has a certain sign they keep an eye out for. For me, it’s the return of amphibians to the water—specifically, the Smooth Newts.

I spied the first newt in the pond earlier this week; a female, and where there is one, others are usually lurking nearby. Sure enough, by the following night the tally had increased to five, with both males and females present. I’ve yet to see any frogs and of course frogspawn, but there is no doubt it'll appear somewhere soon.

This infographic highlights five commonly seen amphibians you can spot in your garden and local area with these species making great use of garden ponds and local watercourses. Even if you don't have a pond, log piles, compost heaps, and wild corners of the garden can provide invaluable feeding grounds and hibernation areas.

For me this is not a bird I usually seen in a back garden, but in this one they were as common as a House Sparrow. This male cautiously wandered around picking off the leftover seed spilt from the smaller birds feeding above, always watching out for danger.

I can always count on a Robin to pose for a photo, this was one of two that I encountered toward the end of a walk in the Shropshire hills. All fluffed up on a winter's day, and that shade of orange/red to brighten up the darkest of days.
